    is allocated in the 3500 ¡ 3800 kHz range in Region 1 and the 3500 ¡ 3900 kHz range in Region 3. This
    band is intensively used for Amateur Radio operations throughout Region 2, and that use is expected to
    increase.

    Amateur radio operations are allocated on a secondary basis to LMS.7 Part 15 unlicensed devices

    of interference to part 15 devices.28 NextNav also states that updating the band to increase flexibility will
    not impact amateur users.29 We seek comment on the extent of part 15 devices and amateur operations in
    the band and what potential impact band reconfiguration and flexible use rules, including elimination of

    amateur community. What services are being provided by part 15 devices and amateur operations in this
    band? Can they be accommodated in other spectrum bands? What are the costs for relocation and how
    long would it take? We also seek comment on the status of any outreach with part 15 device users and
    amateur licensees.
